From North Korea to Indonesia lies a sweep of latitudes equaling that from the North Pole to Greece. Roughly half of the world's population lives there. Music is a central part of their lives and bamboo is central to that music.

Bamboo's eminence is ancient, recorded in the oldest known classification of instruments. Over four thousand years ago, under the emperor Shun, instruments were divided into eight materials, each with a corresponding cardinal point of the compass, a season of the year and an element of nature represented by one of the eight trigrams of the I Ching. Bamboo was associated with the east, the direction of the rising sun, which linked it naturally with Spring, when culms rise with all the thrusting energy of the sun itself.
